The Milgauss 116400GV is encased in high-grade 904L stainless steel, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and durability. This type of steel is particularly valued in watchmaking for its ability to maintain a polished finish over time. The case measures 40 mm in diameter, making it a versatile size suitable for both formal and casual wear. The watch is fitted with a smooth bezel that enhances its sleek and modern look.
Dial and Crystal
The blue dial of the Milgauss 116400GV is a defining feature, providing a striking contrast against the steel case and bracelet. The absence of numerals adds to its minimalist appeal, while the luminescent hour markers and hands ensure readability in various lighting conditions. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, renowned for its clarity and durability. A distinctive feature of the Milgauss is the green-tinted sapphire crystal, which adds a unique halo effect and is a signature element of this model.
Movement and Precision
At the heart of the Milgauss 116400GV is the Rolex Caliber 3131, an automatic movement known for its precision and reliability. This in-house movement is equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, which offers superior resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. The 3131 movement is specifically designed to withstand magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss, making it an ideal choice for environments with high magnetic exposure. With a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, the watch ensures continuous performance even when not worn for a couple of days.
Anti-Magnetic Properties
The Milgauss 116400GV’s primary function is its resistance to magnetic interference. The movement is protected by a ferromagnetic alloy shield, which preserves the accuracy of the watch in environments where magnetic fields are prevalent. This feature was originally developed for scientists and engineers but is equally beneficial for modern wearers who encounter magnetic fields in daily life.
Bracelet and Clasp
The watch is paired with a robust 904L stainless steel Oyster bracelet, known for its durability and comfort. The bracelet is secured with a fold-over clasp, ensuring a secure fit on the wrist. The combination of the steel bracelet and the fold clasp provides a harmonious blend of strength and elegance.
